Actors: Mary Astor, Lyle Talbot, Nat
Pendleton, Joyce Compton, Thurston Hall, Henry Mollison Rating: 1 out of 10,
The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was interesting in that
it wasn’t really science fiction. It was at the time I guess in that television
was just a concept back in 1936. It was also interesting to see the venerable
Mary Astor. This was more of a comedy as a penniless television inventor is
befriended by a goofy bill collector whose hidden hobby is “science”. They soon
run afoul of gangsters and unscrupulous businessmen but goofiness wins out in
the end. Obviously badly dated but I can still see what made Astor such an
enduring star.
MVP: Mary Astor as Barbara
"Bobby" Blake
